Dragon Master Mod Notes
- A lone dragon now spawns a nest near each player (or via the adoption dragon spawn egg) and circles before landing to adopt them; it initially keeps its distance, then approaches and claims the player.
- The dragon stays near its nest until trust grows: place the nest (craftable with sticks and hay), wait for the dragon to land, then offer the requested items directly to the nest.
- Task flow: torch (warmth), cooked salmon (meal), feather (bedding), then a compass. Each offer is consumed and raises trust; when the list is finished the dragon becomes willing to travel.
- Once trusted, interact with the dragon using an empty hand to toggle following. When following is off it lingers near the nest; when on it flies after its adopter.
- The nest can be crafted (sticks + hay blocks) and drops itself when broken; the spawn egg is available in the Spawn Eggs creative tab and the nest appears in Natural Blocks.
- If the dragon or nest goes missing, the mod restores them near the saved nest position so the adoption flow continues without manual respawning.
Limitations & Tips
- Breeding and combat behaviors are intentionally minimal; the dragon focuses on companionship and task-driven trust.
- Visuals reuse a simple biped model and vanilla textures (no custom dragon model); feel free to swap in your own resource pack if you want a different look.
- Trust is stored per player; each player receives their own nest and dragon.
